Ancient China was one of the oldest civilizations. Humans started living in China about 350,000 years ago. As the population of China grew, lots of farming settlements became together. Slowly, these villages developed into bigger villages, into towns and cities, where power was held by ruling families. These families are called dynasties. The first dynasties started to form starting around 2100 BC. It would have been very different here now if it wasn't for the Ancient Chinese, though it would have been better if gunpowder was invented.
